Default could a bad axle cause a front end vibration?

could a bad axle cause front end vibration? I had a B16 swapped into my ek about 6 months ago. Now when I accelerate I get a vibration from the passenger side. I'm sure my rims are straight and it's not a balance issue. I have checked all the bolts and motor mounts and everything looks good. I have even jacked the car up and wiggled the wheel to check for any play and nothing. Sometimes when I take turns around 40mph (nothing crazy just normal daily driving) I get a jerking feeling that seems to come from that same side and can be felt in the steering wheel.

Could be the tires, endlinks, bearings, or axles.

tires are in really good shape. I'm pretty sure I just got **** axles with my swap and just covering my bases before I start replacing stuff.

Yea, I'd replace the axles that came with the swap. Whether they appear to be bad or not.
